CD RELEASE


the release is finally here! after two years of working on the cd ali is getting ready for her show next weekend. the party/show is on saturday (may 7th) at 7pm right on campus in the performing arts center. to start off the night ali will be performing a few of her songs, followed by food and drinks in the PAC lobby. ali is so excited to have this chance to perform a few songs but also to talk about her cd and all the work that has been put into it. there will be cds available for purchase after her performance. it should be a very relaxed night and definitely a lot of fun! 

the cd consists 10 original songs that ali has written after the past few years. she worked on the cd with Tom Eaton, her producer, at his studio right in Newburyport. she was able to spend time recording and working on production as her afternoon activity (in place of a sport, drama, etc.). she requested the project as a special activity and was very excited to get to work. 

it has been quite the process but definitely an exciting one. 
we all look forward to next saturday night!

90's quiz

nfl quiz

tHis pAst tuesday was extremely rainy and left many students feeling "lazy." in an effort to do something fun a friend brought us to the library where we were introduced to sPorcle. we don't know where sPorcle has been all of our lives but it is prettY awesome. we were in the library 4 a couple of hours taking quizzes on 90's music, nfl teams, the office, 2rue bl0od, company slogans and many, many more. it's funny because you end up realizing that you know way more than you think you do. we strongly recommend visiting sporcle.com if you want to have a good time ;). yayy sporcle!

prom prom prom prom 

getting closer and closer every day to the month of may and this means prom season to many. here at school students have already begun to ask their special someone. every year we are always a little surprised by the early start. 

the first part of prom this year will take place at the romantic crane estate in ipswich and will later move to a cozy river ride under the stars. rumor has it that this new location will allow the ladies to take their shoes off...let's hope this ends up being true. as you can see above these eight love birds have already claimed their dates. everyone watch out because the hunt for that someone special has officially begun. ahhhh!

sstp

greg rooney '11


during the spring senior's have the opportunity to do a senior spring term project. in order to do this they must go through an application process that includes several steps. One of these steps is getting this idea passed by a group of faculty members. many students love this opportunity to pursue something that they are interested in and do not have enough time to work with in school. we interviewed greg rooney '11 to talk about his project.


grill: what is your senior spring term project this spring?

greg: we work the &*)(()&%&  boat shop (name is confidential) in amesbury.

grill: whose we?

greg: mike george and i.

grill: what do you do?

greg: we're fixing a boat which we have no idea how to do and we're also building a "deck-dock"

grill: why did you decide to do this?

greg: i wanted to learn something different and it seemed interesting. 

grill: is it difficult manual labor?

greg: the boat is tedious and time consuming and it gets wicked annoying. i got my shoes wet today. mike never lets me order what i want when we stop for fast food.

grill: what do you think you will gain from this experience?

greg: a new hobby maybe...possibly. i saw a dead seal today.

grill: oh no. what happened with the seal?

greg: the guy picked up the seal and brought it inside to dry. i think he's gonna use its skin for seal seat covers on the boats. he thought it was a log. i think that's probably illegal...don't let this get out...dont let this out...seriously...dont tell anyone this...seriously.

grill: thanks greg. good luck with everything!
